Study Notes
UX Design Process
- UX designers create wireframes, which are basic sketches outlining the product.
- Prototypes, early models showing functionality, follow wireframes in the design process.
- UX writers contribute by creating copy, such as button labels within wireframes and prototypes.
- Ensuring that product specifications align with the defined requirements is crucial in the design stage.
- UX designers assess the intuitive flow of app screens and correlate interactions with corresponding actions (e.g., tapping to add an item to a cart).
Testing Phase
- Functional prototypes are developed in collaboration with engineers, focusing on design fidelity, including brand-specific details like fonts and colors.
- At least three testing phases are conducted: internal company tests, stakeholder reviews, and external user testing.
- Stakeholders are individuals with a vested interest in the project, essential for comprehensive feedback.
- Internal tests, known as alpha testing, prioritize identifying technical and usability issues.
User Experience (UX) Definitions
- A user is someone seeking a solution through a product or service.
- User experience encompasses the entire journey a user experiences with a company’s products or services.
- UX design combines research, ideation, and real-world testing to address user and business needs, focusing on user-centric decisions.
Historical Context of UX Design
- UX principles date back to ancient practices, such as Feng Shui in China, emphasizing spatial arrangement for well-being.
- The term "user experience" originated in the 1990s, coined by cognitive psychologist Don Norman to reflect evolving technology interactions.
Elements of UX and UI Design
- User Interface (UI) involves visual and interactive elements, like buttons and navigation, that users engage with directly.
- User Experience (UX) focuses on the overall feelings and responses users have while interacting with a product.
- Effective UX design integrates user needs, business vision, and technology feasibility to create low-resolution wireframes guiding product functionality.
Good vs. Bad UX Design
- Examples of good UX design include Apple’s iPod and Just Eat’s search functionality, which enhance user satisfaction and efficiency.
- Poor UX may involve complicated navigation or lack of intuitiveness, leading to user frustration.
Characteristics of Good User Experience
- Enjoyable: Users seek emotional satisfaction and positive connections; the design should delight and engage.
- Useful: Products must solve user problems while ensuring ease of use; distinction made between usability (ease of use) and usefulness (problem-solving ability).
- Users evaluate product usefulness by their ability to achieve specific goals effectively.
